CAMPAIGN
Cook Political Report shifts Pennsylvania Senate race to lean Democrat

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report is changing its rating of Pennsylvanias Senate race from a toss up to lean Democrat fewer than three months before the November midterms.
The development comes against the backdrop of the social media campaign that Democratic candidate John Fetterman has waged against opponent Mehmet Oz (R) that has sought to portray the celebrity as a carpetbagger from New Jersey who is out of touch with voters.

(3,480 posts)3. Fetterman is up big in the polls.
But dont make a mistake about it. Oz might be at 33% but John is only at 51%. Those right wingers will be coming home, this is going to be very tight. Fettermans health after that stroke is going to be an issue. Hes not well, he hasnt recovered. Thats a big deal to people.

He sounded and looked great this week

(4,755 posts)5. I have found that Cook Political Report is very cautious and conservative
in their reporting. If they say Fetterman is "lean Democrat" he probably has a fairly comfortable lead.

ahead by 10 points.

Now, all we've got to do is GOTV massively and we can't lose.
